Correct option is C
Given:
- Total students in A and B = 120
- Let number of students in class A initially = x
- Number of students in class B initially = 120 - x
- 15 students move from A to B
Solution:
Condition after moving 15 students:
Students in A = x - 15
Students in B = (120 - x) + 15 = 135 - x
Number in B is twice that of A:
135 - x = 2 (x - 15)
Solve the equation:
135 - x = 2x - 30
135 + 30 = 2x + x
165 = 3x
x = 55
The number of students in class A initially was 55.
